December 2016 Brick Loot Box Review

So yes, I realize we are almost a whole two months into 2017 and it seems a little odd I would still want to post my December 2016 Brick Loot box review. However, with the month’s theme of Star Wars, how could I not?

I actually saved this box just for my husband. While he asked where the new box was mid month, it was already squirreled away in a secret hiding place to gift to him on Christmas morning. See, with all the other boxes, I waited as long as I could so we could open them together, but then I would get a comment of “You opened it without me?” Which, of course, made me feel guilty.

This time, with this theme, I wasn’t about to mess up!

So here is the December 2016 Brick Loot box unboxing!

Contents of the December 2016 Brick Loot Box

The Brick Loot boxes come with a contents card:

You can find it at the bottom of the box.

The front of the card tells you the box theme. The back of the card has a small blurb describing each item.

Brick Loot Box Item 1: Exclusive 100% LEGO Build Designed by Joe Meno

From the content card:

Joe Meno, in past lives, has been an advertising art director, an artist, and a Disney Cast Member. In 2000, he rekindled his LEGO hobby from childhood and has coordinated conventions and now edits a LEGO fan magazine, BrickJournal. For the publication, he writes, photographs, and does the layout. Joe still builds and enjoys building space-themed and robotic models. www.brickjournal.com

You guys already know I’m a fan of micro builds, this is one draws me. I like there is some SNOT technique involved with the building, plus the fact this is the one 100% LEGO item in the box makes it a hit with me.

Brick Loot Box Item 2: Force Destroyer and Sky Defender

From the content card:

Blast away into another galaxy with these 2 exclusive Brick Loot spaceships. You can defend the galaxy or destroy it. Only you can decide. No matter which way you go you’re sure to have a BLAST!

Even more micro, the Force Destroyer and Sky Defender remind me of a build you might get out of the LEGO Advent Calendar. The packaging boxes are a fun touch, but unnecessary, I think.

Brick Loot Box Item 3: Micro Walker Designed by Simon Liu

From the content card:

Simon Liu (AKA Si-MOCs) between 905 is a grown up with a grown up job and responsibilities, but during his free time he reverts back to a child with a simple love of LEGO. He creates futuristic worlds out of little bricks where anything is possible and only limited by your imagination.

Designed by Myles Dupont and custom printed exclusively by United Bricks for Brick Loot.

United Bricks specializes in top quality printed LEGO items, with a vast and ever expanding range of printed items to choose from. www.united-bricks.com

This minifigure is great. We love the printed tile. I should have gotten a close up of it, but the tile says “Star Wars” and in red letters, “Final Script”.

Brick Loot Box Item 8: LEGO Artwork

There was nothing said about the artwork on the content card this time, but it was really good, so I wanted to share it with you guys.

Finally, let’s thank the husband for being the hand model for today’s photos. We’ll work on manicuring his nails for the next round of shots. ;)

Our December 2016 Brick Loot Box Review Thoughts

Again, this is nothing new to you guys who have been reading my Brick Loot box reviews… while these boxes are nice and fun to receive, even with the awesomeness of this month’s theme, I still maintain adults are not the target audience for this product. If you’ve never received the box, by all means, do try it out. However, I am sure you would be happier with a different type of subscription box.

How to Purchase a Brick Loot Box Subscription

Brick Loot boxes start at $24.95/month for a 12 month subscription. You still have to pay $6 shipping and handling (USA, that is – other countries can expect to pay more) on top of that, so it is more like $30.95 a month.

If you’re not ready to jump in head first, you can purchase a one-month subscription for $27.00 + $6.00 shipping for a grand total of $32.00. You probably drop almost that much if not more with monthly visits to The LEGO Store, so maybe you should try a box for a month just to see! Visit the Brick Loot website for more details.
